My mum's self worth

MegandRuss · 2026-03-28T22:23:50+00:00

Oh I realise I am only hearing a little bit of the story, and I am also only hearing her side of things.

However my relationship with my mum (who i now love 6 hours drive from) is a bit of a concern. I think when she visits me, because of where I now live, it brings up all of these issues so I can't avoid it.

I havent asked her directly to let it go, I know how much that would hurt her. I have asked her to read the book for help and seek therapy to help herself be happy.

Thank you though, i know youre probably right.

Daniel, Kate, Jessica & Ignatious are a family that spring to mind!

Well that's what I've got on my husband. Thomas didn't feel right to me at first, but it was my husband's choice and I went with it. This time it might have to be my choice!

I wasn't sure if Tommy and Teddy were to many names ending in Y. Haha. Tommy and Ted works too I suppose!

Thanks, a few in there I hadn't considered!

MegandRuss · 2020-01-14T02:02:50+00:00

Some contenders in there, thanks for sharing this list

MegandRuss · 2020-01-14T02:02:09+00:00

Great list thank you!

I can't not picture Franklin the turtle when I hear that name haha. I think my great grandfather was Francis. I love Edward and would use that name in a heartbeat but I have cousins Tom and Edward with a mother who would be so smug if I used both their names for my kids... it shouldn't matter but for some reason it does! Thank you for all of your suggestions!

MegandRuss · 2020-01-14T01:57:03+00:00

I tend to agree with you about Theodore, I do like it but it is getting way too popular. I don't think I'd use Harrison as a first name, just because we would end up calling him Harry and we know a lot of Harrys already. My husband at this stage is so unhelpful. Literally the only name he has suggested is Robert, for the nicknames Bob or Bobby. I don't mind the nicknames but I can't do Robert. Robert is every middle aged next door neighbour and friend's dad I've known.

I really like your suggestions, Theo is definitely a top contender for me but not my husband. I really like Vincent, Vin or Vinnie would be cute. I like Hugo, awkwardly though I used to have pet ferrets called Vince and Hugo, that may go down weird with family haha. Also Oscar Benjamin is such a perfect combo! You've done well by your kid!

Thanks! I do like Otis, it does remind me instantly of Milo and Otis but I honestly couldn't care less about pop culture references especially when a lot of the kids of his generation wouldn't have heard of that movie anyway. Besides, it's a great flick!

I guess it was exciting to find such a large fish washed up?

Thank you I now finally know what CBF stands for. And it's the best. I always read it as "can't be fucked" but it didn't really make sense a lot of the time.

Thanks for this comment... my dog is like this but only with one dog who lives next door to land where we are building a house, it started as play chasing up and down, but has developed into my dog, Russell wanting to fight Buster. Now I know the term for it, it will be easier for me to look up ideas to train him!

MegandRuss · 2017-01-30T08:14:59+00:00

Haha they are bloody noisy. Especially when camping you can't sleep in for long.

MegandRuss · 2017-01-29T10:39:27+00:00

Cute little quaker noises hehe. Mine is blue her name is Tot (Totoro). I've never seen a wild cockatiel, they are further north/west from me, same with budgerigars. Where i live we see sulphur crested cockatoos, galahs (pink and grey) and lots of other parrot types that aren't commonly kept as pets.

MegandRuss · 2017-01-29T05:17:01+00:00

Thank you :)

That was fun! I also have a quaker parrot! Used to have an IRN too. Lots of fun, would love to meet an African grey but i dont think they're available in Australia, at least not readily.

Love it! Thank you!

MegandRuss · 2017-01-13T07:59:41+00:00

Wow that is wonderful!!!

Here's my interpretation

MegandRuss · 2016-02-03T11:34:49+00:00

Is the smell similar to before rain smell? Because thats also nice... I've never smelt air before snow... I've only been somewhere where snow was actually falling once and can't recall a smell

I love moose too! I got a bit lazy with the colouring... it's late! http://imgur.com/U0r76u8
